Ariss Valley Golf and Country Club - Lakes Course

Booked online. Was seamless when I got there. Was a beautiful day. I was a single and had no real slow ups at all.

course plays well once again accuracy off the tee is a must to score well. course quite wet due to all the rain but well maintained and for the most part greens in excellent shape

My wife an I played Ariss on a Sunday morning 2 days after a big rain fall, but the drainage on the course is poor. There was lots of casual water in many of the fairways, and the bunkers were either filled with water or compacted and unplayable.

Although the fairways and bunkers remained very wet the greens did play very well. They were soft and held approach shots with ease. I almost expected them to be slow but they were almost on the fast side. However, they ran nice and true and we're very well kept.

The course is quite hilly but still very walkable. We completed the front 9 in about 2 hours, but we collided on the Lakes with a few groups from the Pines playing the same back 9 as us. Although we waited a bit to tee off on 10, we still played in 4.5 hours.

I would recommend this course as long as there has not been a heavy rainfall a few days before.

It's very good for the money. However, it's quite confusion in some holes. Neither map no staff tells the exact lay-out of the course.

The course is in excellent shape. Pace of play was very good. The staff is second to none, very friendly and accommodating. Great value, would highly recommend the course.

Great course for the value. Wasn't even that busy for a holiday Monday. I really enjoyed myself!

Course was in great shape and excellent value. Pace of play was great our foursome played in 3.5 hours which is nice for a change

wonderful course,great value for the money. the greens were well maintained and quick.

Have not played here since I started golfing about 17 years ago. Got a great deal through Golfnow at $10 for the round so why not right? This is a hilly course to walk but if you are in ok shape you will be fine. Played the Willows and the Lakes and found the Lakes to be in the best shape. Pretty short course from tee to green but once you get on the green don't expect a flat lie anywhere. Bring your putter to this course because the greens are very challenging. A little more TLC would make this place much nicer.

A course with challenges of every kind, Ariss Valley is a very enjoyable and challenging average-golfers course. The facilities and staff provide a very welcoming experience with excellent food for a quick turn.

Played Pines to Lakes. Plenty of water, creeks, and environmental that will offer enough challenges on each hole to demand distance and/or accuracy. With a slope rating of 117 it is a good all around course for most skill levels. Course conditions were very good, highly recommend it.

Great little course with some fun holes. I could see the conditions only getting better as when I was there it looked as if the grass was cut for the first time in weeks with the amount of clippings and the topdressed greens were a little rough in spots. The course is very playable with room to spray a tee shot here and there.

Although this course has become more challenging, it is still very rough in spots and needs a paved cart path because we bounced our way through the entire path. You need a cart to play here because it is very hilly. The cart rate should be significantly reduced because of the shake-up you get on it.

This course was a mess! The grounds were covered in sod clods, there isn't a bench ANYWHERE, and the greens were terrible. This course is going downhill fast.

Green fees too high for course quality. You can do a lot better.

From a bogey golfer's point of view the rough is thick for average player. Fairways are a must. Greens still have winter damage - ball hops.
Full rates are a bit high for the course conditions.

Good value for the money - some greens had a hard winter. Nice having the 3 - 9's. 4 hour round including a beer on he patio after. Nice clubhouse and staff was friendly. I will be back soon.

course was very wet, looking forward to play again dryer condition.

Enjoyable course. Many interesting holes. However course was very wet. Greens need some work. Will definitely return in drier conditions.

Wonderful course outside of Guelph great value for the money.

Great course to play along with little children.
